THE WINE ADVOCATE / R PARKER 2018

This year, Roussillon Wines welcomed Joe Czerwinski, for whom it was the first year as head-taster in charge of Roussillon for Wine Advocate. Previously, Mr. Czerwinski had worked for 15 years at Wine Enthusiast.

Roussillon, once again, has passed with flying colours, as 84% of the ratings are above or equal to 90/100. It is important to note that Vins Doux Naturels, the most treasured wines of Roussillon, are not counted in this average, as they will be graded in the future.
